Good Golly Miss Molly!! Every time I think of baby Molly, this song comes to mind. Well, her Aunt Desiree actually got me thinking of it. I made Molly's baby shower cookies way back when and now I have the pleasure of making her Christening cookies. She will celebrate her big day next week in NY and I am so glad I will be a part of her special day in some way.

Thank you Aunt Denise for the continued support and business!!

**Crosses were inspired by Whimsy Cookie Co. Thanks Laurie!**

Christmas Platter

Another Christmas platter for a Christmas party!!

Christmas Teacher Cookie gifts

These cookies were made for some very special teachers to thank them for all they do. Each box contained a dozen (and a few more) different Christmas cookie designs. Thank you to all the wonderful teachers out there.

Cupcake Wreath

I was in charge of making dessert for our Christmas party at school. I knew I was going to make cupcakes and thought what a cute idea to make it a wreath. Well, here it is. I wasn't thrilled about the bow on this but they did taste yummy!!

Gingerbread Men Cookies

For Christmas, I gave each of my students The Gingerbread Man book. What goes with a good book, a great cookie!! I made each of my students a Gingerbread cookie. The girl design was inspired by my cookie friend Laurie at Whimsey Cookie Co.

These cookies were made for my daughter dance company. They are having their Winter Dance recital this weekend and the owner asked me to make some favors. Here are the designs that we came up with. I hope you can see them since I forgot to take a picture of them before they were wrapped. I also made 6 dozen cookie bites to go along with this order but didn't take a picture.

Thanks Amanda and Dance Imagination!!! Looking forward to our Spring recital cookie line.

1st Christmas platter of the season

~Christmas Platter~

This is the first Christmas platter of the season. I have a few more designs in mind that I plan to add to other platters that I have to make. The reindeer was done freehand. I don't think it came out too bad since it was my first try. My husband says it looks more like a moose. I guess I need to work on it a little more. Happy Holidays!

Computer Cookies

So when I got the e-mail to make computer cookies, I thought how in the world am I going to do these. We'll with some brainstorming and lots of sketches, this is what I came up with. I'm pretty happy with the end result!

Thanks Diane for the order!!

Sweet Pea!

I made these cookies to send off to my niece who just had a little baby boy Bentley. The design was inspired by some cookies I saw on Cookies are my Canvas! Christina was so nice to let me use her design. :) When I saw them, I knew I had to make them for this little guy.

Congratulations Renee and David!!
